Sorry but Fury is poetry in motion, he does lag brigning his hands back sometimes, but he is slick enough and crafty enough to get away with it. RJJ and Naseem would be the same thing.
And Wilders approach isn't really anything like Fury's, Fury can fight on both the inside and outside, but he doesn't always look to fight outside, only when it makes sense to do so. Fury will also come forward, and throw punches in volume, Wilder doesn't really have good inside work, and is better described as a puncher who can counter punch.
I see Wilder being tentative, because he knows he is up against a smarter, faster fighter, and Fury forcing the fight with confidence. If Wilder starts to land and get the better of him in exchanges I could see Fury taking it back outside and equalizing the field behind his jab, but I don't see any conceivable way Wilder doesn't get brutally stopped if it turns into a phone booth fight. If anyone clinches it's Wilder, but both fighters would rather fight than clinch, so I expect a good scrap.
